I see you standing there. You are wondering how in the world your dream will fly when you can’t seem to get the pile of laundry off the dining room table. You are thinking to yourself, “I am crazy to believe my dream matters.”
But,I want to tell you it does.
Your dream matters.
It matters for two reasons you can’t argue with.
First of all, the dream you have in your heart was put there by the One who knows you best. He knows your ways. He knows your gifts and your abilities. He is not bothered one bit by the laundry kicking your tail. His plans for you. . . are good. You can trust if His voice whispered your dream, then it matters because He doesn’t waste time on dreams that don’t.
Second it matters because He flat out loves you girl. What you care about—well, He cares about. He wants to see you shine like the stars for Him. Your God-sized dream is not about YOU. It is all about His glory. You get to be part of it because He loves you and wants to see you wrapped up in it doing what He created you to do. This will bring you great joy. His glory and your joy is a winning combination.
If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
I know if you had a day like I had today, you might be tempted to think why bother. Why say it, share it, make it, do it, or pursue anything that remotely looks like a God-sized dream. Some days feel dreadfully ordinary. But in these ordinary days, God is making you like Himself. He is at work behind the scenes to prepare the time and place for your dream to take flight.
And in His timing, it will fly dream girl. You will be so glad you didn’t miss one breathtaking moment of the journey.
Even the ordinary laundry filled days like today.

P.S. Was today an ordinary day? How can I encourage you to keep dreaming and putting one foot in front of the other? Might I pray for you today? Leave a comment and I will do just that. I pinky-promise.

Thanks so much for sharing this – I really needed this today.
I’m so glad you stopped by today LeAnn. I’m praying for you!
Dreams, my have been shatters not too long ago. Still grieving, not fully understanding, slowing healing. Things have change, life forever changed, still trusting.
Praying for you Renne. Holley talks about this very thing in her book. I highly recommend it! “You’re Made for a God Sized Dream”
Thank you Sracey
“in His timing, it will fly”…oh I needed to read this today. His timing is perfect. Mine is just convenient. One day….He’ll bring it all together, one day.
I couldn’t get past this line… (“You are wondering how in the world your dream will fly when you can’t seem to get the pile of laundry off the dining room table.”) … mine is on the living room floor overflowing out of the basket… just tears!
today was so ordinary in that I was so distracted by the unnecessary, the unimportant… that I missed out on the important, the dream pursuing…
Thank you for reminding me that the dream I have was put there by Him. He gave me the passion/desire that I have. He gave me the skills and the gifts I have to follow those dreams. How wrong of me would it be to not chase after them ?
I appreciate your heart and how your wrap your words around all of us like a hug, friend. Thankful to have you in my life!
